1st Mariner Bancorp Reports Second Quarter 2012 Results

Baltimore, MD (July 26, 2012) – 1st Mariner Bancorp (OTCBB: FMAR), parent company of 1st Mariner Bank, reported net income of $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to a net loss of $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the net income was $7.5 million compared to a loss of $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Mark A. Keidel, 1st Mariner’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our improved operating results for the second quarter were driven by a robust mortgage banking environment, improved credit quality, and continued reductions in operating expenses. The low interest rate environment and the addition of new mortgage production units have significantly increased loan production for home purchases and refinances. We experienced a record number of mortgage settlements during the quarter and for the first six months of 2012, with origination volume in excess of $1.0 billion.”

Mr. Keidel continued, “We experienced further improvement in our asset quality measures during the quarter. Net recoveries during the second quarter of 2012 from previously charged off loans totaled $428 thousand compared to net charge offs of $5.8 million in the same quarter last year. We also reduced levels of non-performing assets and delinquencies. This reflects continued efforts to resolve problem assets and the benefits of a stabilizing economy and real estate market. Our level of non-performing assets decreased 15% when compared to the June 30, 2011. Our delinquencies have improved significantly as well, with no accounts being over 90 days past due and accruing interest as of June 30, 2012, compared to $6.7 million last year.”

Mr. Keidel added, “As we continue to focus on operational efficiency enhancing asset quality, and executing on mortgage banking opportunities, we remain fully committed to improving our capital levels. While our improved operating performance has increased our capital ratios over the past two quarters, the ratios remain below the levels required by regulatory orders and we continue to work diligently to increase capital to levels required in our regulatory agreements.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2012 was $7.3 million compared to $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2011. The net interest margin improved to 3.07% in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 2.86% in the second quarter of 2011. The improvement was due to lower interest rates paid on deposits. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the average interest rate paid on deposits was 1.27%, and for the three months ended June 30, 2011, the rate was 1.77%. Interest expense on deposits was $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Gross interest income was $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 versus $11.7 million in the same period of 2011. Lower levels of loans and lower yields on those loans were the primary cause of the decrease. Average earning assets were $946.8 million and $919.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase was due to higher average loans held for sale that resulted from the higher mortgage banking activity. The average loans held for sale for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $205.1 million and $54.1 million, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net interest income was $14.9 million compared to $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The net interest margin was 3.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 versus 2.85% for the same period in 2011. The improvement was due to lower interest rates paid on deposits. The average interest rate paid on deposits was 1.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 versus 1.79% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Interest expense on deposits was $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Gross interest income was $22.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 versus $23.8 million in the same period of 2011. Lower levels of loans were the primary cause of the decrease. Average earning assets were $949.5 million and $933.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  As with the quarter just ended, the six month results benefitted from higher average loans held for sale due to strong mortgage banking production.  The average loans held for sale for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $191.4 million and $61.2 million, respectively.

The Company experienced net recoveries of previously charged off loans of $428 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This resulted in a reversal of the provision for loan losses of $428 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $5.8 million provision for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $5.8 million. Costs related to foreclosed properties, including write-downs due to declining appraised values, amounted to $940 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a significant improvement over the $1.7 million recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Combined credit- related costs (reversal of/provision for loan losses and costs of foreclosed properties) amounted to $512 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2012 versus $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Improving portfolio credit quality and a stabilizing real estate market in our operating region contributed to the improvement in credit costs.
 

 
 
 

 
The provision for loan losses was $572 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net charge offs for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $852 thousand versus $6.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011. Costs related to foreclosed properties, including write-downs due to declining appraised values, amounted to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 versus $3.4 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Combined credit- related costs amounted to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Portfolio credit quality and a stabilizing real estate market in our operating region contributed to the improvement in credit costs. As of June 30, 2012, the non-performing assets were $56.7 million, a 15% improvement over the $66.5 million of non-performing assets as of June 30, 2011. Delinquencies have also improved. As of June 30, 2012, there were no accounts that were 90 or more days past due and accruing interest. By comparison, there were $6.7 million in loans that were 90 or more days past due and accruing interest as of June 30, 2011.

Non-interest income was $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, which is an increase of $8.1 million from the $4.7 million that was reported in the second quarter of 2011.  The increase from the prior year was due to the high volume of refinancing and sales activity produced by the mortgage division. Gross revenue from the mortgage banking activities was $11.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 versus $2.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Low interest rates and expanded production capability continue to drive increases in home purchase loans and refinances. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, gross mortgage loan production volume was $570.9 million compared to $206.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, non-interest income was $23.2 million, which is a $15.4 million improvement over the $7.8 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2011. Improved gross mortgage banking revenue was the primary reason for the increase. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the mortgage division’s gross revenue was $20.1 million, a significant increase over the $3.3 million that was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2011. Gross mortgage loan production volume was $1.03 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012 versus $390.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and the company experienced wider spreads on loans sold.

Non-interest expenses were $14.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $16.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Controllable costs such as salaries and benefits and furniture, fixtures and equipment expenses decreased by $429 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Amounts paid for FDIC insurance premiums remain high with $1.1 million incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $1.5 million incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2011.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, non-interest expenses were $30.3 million, which is an 8.2% improvement over the $33.0 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2011. Controllable costs such as salaries and benefits and furniture, fixtures and equipment expenses collectively decreased by $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011.
